Is there a reason why an alias wouldn't be able to recognize a %3 input? IE.... For some reason the command set stance mant doesn't do the command per the alias.... But set att keii DOES work... For the life of me, I can't seem to get it to work. Amongst a couple other aliases that a third command is needed to function... =[

According to the way you have your alias written the correct syntax would be "set att stance mant". It looks like you need to adjust the script if you want to do it differently.

Also using an #IF..else chain can gain some speed as long as you put the more frequently used command at the top of the chain.

You haven't included any code to handle "stance" when used in the %1 slot. That's why set stance mant doesn't work. It's checking %1 to see if it's "att" and concluding it's not, then it checks to see if %1 = "line" and finds it's not that either, and finally it checks to see if %1 = "pool" but finds that's not true either. Because there's no code after this #IF check, the alias doesn't do anything.

Another issue I notice is that despite what %2 is, the alias is always setting @attack to "k". This means you're losing the "keii" assignment you make when evaluating %2 in the set att keii example.

Hrmmm... now how about this one?? =[ (On a side note... It isn't a COMPLETE botter script, it just automatically loads the next script in the series.) For some reason, I can't get any of it to work. And its all enabled, so is the class that it resides in....

You shouldn't have braces around the name of the alias. It'll never be more than one word, so you don't need them.

What about this alias isn't working?

And it doesn't really matter to most of us if you use bots or not - some MUDs even allow them. If yours doesn't, that's your problem.

Well... the {}'s around the alias, I just put in there to read easier. The actual alias is copied straight from the alias. I figured it would be best to see how it looks to me. *shrug* And the whole alias isn't working. It doesn't recognize any part of it. =[ Almost like there is none... But there is. I'm going nutty I think. LoL!

As far as the botting... *shrug* I've seen a couple ppl goin off on 'botters'. You can script all day long @ nodeka but you can't script the botcheck, and you MUST answer the botcheck. Short of that, your imagination is the limit. =]

Now here's something interesting. It fails if you use botter on but works fine if you do botter "on". I reduced the alias down to this:

#alias botter {#if (%1 = "on") {#say lol}}

and it still doesn't work! It should be, so I have no idea what's happening.

On, off, true, and false are keywords in expressions. Picking another word would be best, alternately you could use #if ("%1" = "on")
